HC Deb 12 August 1901 vol 99 cc439-40
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Commissioners of National Education will say what is the cause of the delay in the payment of the salary due to the principal teacher of Roll No. 7138, District No. 52.

MR. WYNDHAM

The career of this teacher has been most unsatisfactory. He was reprimanded in 1896 for drunken- ness, and in 1898 he was depressed in classification for inefficiency. The local manager was unable to certify that the rules of the Commissioners had been complied with, or that the character of the teacher was satisfactory in the last quarterly return. Payment of his salary has, therefore, been suspended pending an investigation by the inspector.
